ENTERTAINMENTS.

TOM MIX AT TOWN HALL

Picturcgoers who visit the Town Hall on Friday or Saturday, have a treat in store, when “Conquering Blood,” the latest Tom Mix special, is Hashed on the screen. In. addition to many stunts on Tony, Mix performs quite a few new moves on the ground, his role as a young railway construction engineer, giving him quite a number of uneasy movements, and tight corners from which he must escape. /Special interest attaches to “Conquering Blood” by reason of the fact that it is the first big western feature to be filmed in natural colours. On the same programme is “The Fighting Tailor,” comedy. “Sawdust and Spangles,” a. circus novelty, and Fox News. Prices as usual. A big picture of a thrilling nature is “The Mailman” screening on Monday. ROYAL PICTURES. THRILLS GALORE. Every element of suspense, every thrilling incident and every stunt that sends delicious chills of terror along an audience’s spine is embodied in “The Monster,” a Metro-Gold wyn picture which comes to the Royal Theatre on Friday. There are ghostly bands that stretch forth menacingly; there are sliding panels in which queer faces appear; there are skeletons in closets, and a demented surgeon who fascinates his victims with hypnotic power. Extra “Wolves of The North.”

Lou Tellcgen, who plays opposite Patsy Ruth Miller, with whom he shares stellar honors in “Those W 7 ho Judge,” used to be the great Sarah Bernhardt’s favourite leading man. At the Royal on Saturday.
